Are you implying that the Googlers involved are doing this to advance themselves? Yes I know what virtue signaling is.

Do you have evidence for that? To use the cliché, your statement seems to show more how you see the world than how they see it.

I'm stating the obvious fact that former Googlers have made themselves notable by engaging in public activism while at the company. Both conservative and liberal. If one dreams of becoming an activist and one happens to work at Google there are footsteps to follow in.

Insofar as personal advancement goes. While there are exceptions, it should be fair to expect that what one does at work may be somehow related to personal advancement. This can be advancement in terms of getting promotions, growing skills, or establishing a reputation.

Wholly selfless people aren't the norm in corporate work environments. That's fine. You can be a good person and not wholly selfless.
